シャーンブルックのおすすめMTBライド

素敵で走りやすい砂利道です。週末は歩行者などで混雑することがあるので、少しペースが落ちるかもしれません。しかし、早朝や平日は通常、かなり順調です。

The route does a dog-leg about here, which takes you to the other side of the hedge. The official bridleway route. I keep missing it - although you end up at the right place in the end as you travel parallel to it and rejoin through a gap in the hedge at the end of the field.

Careful in the winter - this was pretty unrideable. Mainly grassy byway. Imagine it's super fun when dry!

If you peddle through you might find it deep enough to cover your feet if it has been quite wet previously (as it was on 5/10/24).

The cycle path along the top of the dam is wide and flat and gives great views across the reservoir. Reach it from the Visitor Centre at the northern end although access at the southern end is trickier as you have to squeeze through a narrow gap next to a locked gate by the main road.

The valve tower at Grafham Lake homes the controls that operate the opening and closing of the gates/valves allowing the reservoir water to be correctly regulated. The tower was built in the 1960s and resembles something of a spaceship!

Good cafe usually busy but plenty of space for bikes and a playpark for youngsters. Great crazy golf course due to open May 2023.
